Einsteiners Take a Tour of the Enchanting Troll Knoll

A lucky group of Einsteiners recently toured the Troll Knoll, a very special 20-acre private garden in Penn Valley. The fanciful property belongs to John and Ann Morris who have been adding whimsical touches to it for over 20 years.

John, who calls himself “head troll” led the tour. He is the creator of the Knoll which he has described as “a conceptual metaphor”. Put simply, it is a collection of visual jokes and fascinating vignettes set in the middle of beautiful gardens. It’s quirky and breathtakingly beautiful. But however it’s described, the impression it makes is the same: everyone who tours the Troll Knoll is enchanted by it.

Kellie told us the tour was fantastic and the group enjoyed it and John very much. “He takes a lot of pride in it as he should. It’s amazing.”

“Some people have a home with a garden,” John said. “We have a garden with a home. A garden is a sanctuary, and that’s what this is: our sanctuary.”
